This Is Who I Am: 8 Random Facts about this Blogger
1) I have a twin sister. She is the same age as me (you would be surprised how many people ask that) and we are not identical. We are actually complete opposites in just about everything, but I guess that’s what makes us complement each other so well.
2) I only dated my husband for 3 months before we got engaged. Some might think I was crazy – it sounds crazy just writing it here – but it happened so naturally. I am usually a more methodical person who plans out my life as much as I can, but this came unexpectedly!
3) I grew up in Wyoming. I lived in a small town in Wyoming until I was 12. Some of my favorite memories there were: building igloos in the snow, sledding off the roof, dodging a moose on my friend’s property, and going to barn dances with my “boyfriend.”
4) I’ve been wearing business attire since high school. I joined Future Business Leaders of America in high school and was a state officer my senior year. My sisters and friends would make fun of my grown-up style, so I made up a new style called “trendy business.”
5) I love baking cookies. I have been baking cookies since the age of 8 and prefer cookies to any other desserts. Some of my favorites are oatmeal, snickerdoodles, and chocolate chip.
6) I have had three serious head injuries. At age 5 I fell off the bleachers at a rodeo, at age 7 I hit my head on the metal edge of the playground, and at age 18 I was the victim of a car crash. My mom says I got smarter with each one. I just think my head’s a little tender.
7) I competed in a beauty pageant. Maybe I did get a little messed up from the head injury, because shortly afterwards I decided to try out for a “scholarship program.” I didn’t do too bad – I was a finalist in a couple local shows and got about $1800 of scholarship money.
8) I collect ladybug stuff. I started drawing ladybugs next to my name in middle school and pretty soon I started receiving all sorts of ladybug paraphernalia. Nowadays I try to keep it subtle, but if you were to look on my desk I have little ladybugs on all my frames and desktop accessories, and at home in my kitchen. Ladybugs are known in most cultures as a symbol of luck.
This post is part of a tag from fellow bloggers Brandon A at Newly Corporate and Tiffany at Personal PR. I agree with Tiffany that blogging is about relationships and getting to know each other enhances our relationships and networks, and hopefully this gave you some insight into who I am.
I encourage anyone reading this to create their own post and leave a comment here once you’ve created one. Auf Wiedersehen!
Brandon A - I have never heard of Asian beetles, but after looking them up I guess they do look like ladybugs! We must not get them much in the Pacific Northwest.
Brandon H - Great suggestion! I need to get to know more bloggers in the Seattle area. (Comment this)
